Facilitator Log

0:59 Isabel was born in Camaguey, Cuba and was the youngest of 12 children. 4:00 Isabel met her future husband, Iv�n while waiting for the school bus to go to school. She remembers she thought he looked goofy but liked him anyway. 17:20 After the Cuban Revolution, Isabel quickly became disillusioned and felt that the situation for many Cubans had still not changed. Her husband held on hope until the Bay of Pigs failure. 26:00 Isabel and her husband arrived in Key West, FL with three young children who did not recognize the fruits they were given to eat in the U.S. 35:00 Isabel was less strict with Carolina than with her other children, because, as their youngest daughter Carolina 'got them (her parents) when they were tired.' 39:00 Isabel feels happy that Carolina has been able to go to Cuba so often and believes it is important for her daughter to serve the two countries she comes from, Cuba and the U.S.
